What are you right here? Danny Brotos there you if
he sure to check out the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel.

(01:22):
We do our weekly video podcast over promised and a
bunch of clips constantly being put up there by Spotty
Elijah and the whole video team. So thank you, guys.
And you know, I know Danny's joking here, but Rich
does get brotox. Before he got it done, he had
actual Russell Crow's feet, Russell and Cheryl Crow's feet right
around his eyes. But look how great he looks right now. Listen,

(01:44):
I've never got botox. Sure you have, And I can't
say I never will. I mean, I'm in my forties.
Maybe when I'm an old guy, maybe I'll be like,
maybe I'll try to look like Simon Calloll one day.
But I think if you do any of that as
a dude under fifty. So let's wrap up the phone
calls about mahomes and the chiefs and the villainous ways.

(02:08):
I thought about it more. Yeah, Mahomes is a hero.
He's a hero. I let me tell you why. I
mean he went likable to man. Come on, I'll tell
you why. We're talking about whether or not him trying
to draw an unnecessary roughness or a roughing the passer.
Is that a little cheap Trey Acoming got in on

(02:28):
it this past weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Take a listen, he's trying to draw the penalty. You
see that rather than just run out of bounds, he
slows down. That's been the frustration and I get it.
I understand it. That's been the frustration for these defensive
players around the league.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
And they had some moans and groans about that call
where the defense colided against each other. It didn't even
touch Mahomes. Now, if you're Patrick Mahomes, I say he's
heroic in the eyes of his teammates because knowing that
I'm gonna tiptoe along the sideline and I'm going to
actually try to get an undisciplined member of their secondary

(03:05):
to run up and you know, shove me out of bounds,
tackle me once I get out. I think Mahomes should
be a plot for putting himself out there. That's team
play right there. How am I gonna get my team?
Look at how am I gonna get my team another
fifteen yards? I'm playing with I'm playing with fire here,
you know. And that's another way to look at it, Rich,

(03:25):
I respect it. I respect your view on it, I
should say, but I look at it like and it's
a compliment. I think Mahomes really truly is it should
hold himself better and higher than that. He doesn't need
to do that. It's like Lebron. You lose, honestly, you
lose a little respect for Lebron because you know he's
already the goat. You know he's one of the greatest
out there to ever do it. When he's flopping and

(03:47):
playing all these baby games to his advantage, just looks lame.
It doesn't. It's not part of the game that's necessary.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
You know, when the NFL is going to run to
tighten up the rules on this, the first time Mahomes
gets lit up fifteen yards, whoever walks away is going
to be like, I got my money's worth. Because Rich,
we were joking about we were joking about brotox, but
you still got wheels when you play in your you know,
your softball games. Imagine going full speed and then you

(04:16):
add to stop on a dime. It's really it's so
hard to do as a defender, and we've seen former
players talk about this. Yeah, so what's going to happen
is a defender's not going to be able to stop
at all and they are going to clock the you
know what out of mahome.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
No again, I can't look at you guys in the
eyes and say, I don't think it's a little cheap.
But he wants to win, And you could argue who's
doing everything in his power to get an advantage. You
always defend Andy Pettitt because he admitted to taking HGH
to get back on the field. I've always been a

(04:51):
little sympathetic to steroid users in sports. I'll tell you why,
because if I was at an elite level and you
told me, hey, take this and you'll be even better,
I could see the temptation. Dude, if you told me, here,
inject yourself with this once a week and you'll be
the biggest, baddest radio podcast show ever, I'd be taking
performance enhancing drugs tomorrow. Truthfully, I never commended Pettit for that.

(05:12):
I commended him for his honesty, his honesty and putting
that fire out immediately, and you saw how it worked.
The fact that he was honest, no one really got
I'm saying it's the people that lied and denied all
the time that really got the heat. I think people
trying to get an edge in sports, in life, in business.
I'll never I'll never blame a man or a woman

(05:33):
for trying to get what's theirs. However, it's not illegal.
So if Mahomes is baiting people, you know, okay, so
you know by those rules. Let's say you were dating somebody, right,
but technically you were on a you were like, you
had a fight and you're like, you know what, we
need a break, and then they cheated on you during

(05:53):
that little weekend Like these are baby loopholes that don't
necessarily apply. Wow, that should be a plotline of a
big sitcom. Yeah, but don't you still feel like you
were cheated on? Why? Because you played by the little
baby rules and you found a loophole. It's okay, I
understand doing on a national stage. I know what you're saying.
And the microscope is on Mahomes. That little tiptoe on
the sideline was the weakest of So you're saying a

(06:15):
tiptoe on the sidelines and that really was drawing a
fifteen yard flag. Yeah, is the same as your girlfriend
and you're breaking up for a day and you taking
that it's like finding as a chance to go hook up. Yes,
it's the cheapest loophole possible. I agree with that loop.
I think that's a great analogy. Thank you the guy
that says, yeah, but uh, your baby, we were like
broken up for the weekend. That's a I get it's cheap.

(06:37):
Were technically warn't to go though, Yeah, but why because
we had a fight and I mean, let it breathe.
So anyway, we'll wrap it up with your phone calls,
just speculating, not hating anybody, just chopping it up. Eight
seven seven ninety nine, M Fox, Let's go to Jersey.
IRAQ is ready? What's up? You rock?

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Eight?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I rock?

Speaker 5 (06:56):
Hey, guys, what's up? I want to talk about football?
But first the Nicks. I'm a die here Nicks finn.
I think they should get Scottie Barnes. He's a great player,
you know, they'll do good. And or if they could
get with Shan Laurnett Leonard, that'd be a good pick
up too. And also about the Bills, you know, I
don't like them in the past because they, you know,

(07:16):
to put her bruntly that the orse Semen football losing
four Super Bowls. But I'm rooting for him this year.
I think they're gonna upset the Chiefs and Travis Kelsey's
dufren is going to be crying in the stands.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I tell my daughter and her friends. You know, my
daughter's seven, so all her little pals are all seven
eight years old that love Taylor Swift, And I said,
you guys should all root against the Chiefs. Why Dad,
Because if Taylor Shift is sad, do you know how
much new music's going to come out of this. There'll
be songs about consoling your man. And I think, I
think this is good benefit from the loss. You know,

(07:54):
I'm so fixated on if the Bills do win. I'm
waiting there, sitting there, waiting for Josh Allen some of
the leaders of the team to give props to the
previous generations of teams that came so close, because I
feel like they deserve it. This one's for you, Scott Norway,
I swear like, I really want that to happen. I

(08:14):
want it to be for the fans of the nineties
and the players that came so close that paved the
way for this community of Bills fandom and legacy. I
can't wait to see them give credit to Jim Kelly
and Norwood and all those other guys, Thurman, Thomas Reid.
This is, this is I think that's deserved because it

(08:36):
was so heartbreaking. I do. I really feel like if
they do, they better do that. If they win, I
gotta see that. Let's go to Pete and Pa. What's up, Pete?

Speaker 6 (08:46):
Yeah, when you're when you're talking about all this Mahome
stuff and it was like probably six games ago. I'm
a coach of a team. I tell them, my defenders,
if you get the chance on the side to light
him up, light him up, hit him so hard, crush
him in that do whatever you have to do. I

(09:07):
want you to get thrown out of the game. You
hit him so hard because what he is doing is nonsense.
And I love him. I think he's awesome, but what
he's doing is nonsense.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, I think that's how we all feel. We all look,
no one wants to see him get hurt, right, And
that's the risk because guess what, you don't want to
be the guy that hurts Mahomes either, you know, Man's
that's just bad for everybody. But yeah, we all like
he's a likable guy, and this almost goes against his character, right,
it doesn't match. He's a winner, all right. He's a

(09:40):
slippery little one, isn't he he is? He's a slippery scoundrel,
you know what I mean. We can wrap this because
we got Mahomes trivia to do. I know, we want
to talk about the Hall of Fame inductions. We'll get
word on that from d being a few, but let's
let's wrap up Mark and Missouri Mahomes. You could agree
a likable guy. You know, my mom even said, my

(10:02):
mom's a Raiders fan like you, Danny. She goes I
watch quarterback and I hate to say it, he's so
seems like such a nice guy. I'm like, yeah, he is,
and his wife and everything. I feel like Mahomes is
a great human being. But these little shenanigans, I could
see where they rubbed people the wrong way. You can
look at it as you're trying to get an edge,

(10:22):
or you could say it's getting a little dirty.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Now.

Speaker 7 (10:25):
You know what's interesting about Mahomes and how he is
always carried himself. There are very few opportunities where things
have gone wrong for Mahomes. But one of the opportunities
was when they were playing the Bills and Kadarius Tony
lined up off sides. Remember they busted him, yep, And
the Bills end up winning the game, and Mahomes runs

(10:46):
to Josh Allen and instead of saying good game, you
know you got us on this one.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
All you do.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
It's the worst call I've ever seen. It's the worst
call I've ever seen in my life. And so there
are very few instances where Patrick Mahomes is on the
short side of things, so it's interesting to see, like
on how he responds. And there's just been such a
few work where we have seen where he has lost.
They lost to the Buccaneers in a game where they
didn't have two tackles and he was running for his

(11:12):
life and he handled that with grace. I'm just looking
at that other one being like, okay, well what about
if things turned sour? You know, is there that little
part of him I want to see that far at
the edge of Patrick Mahomes because we did see it
come out on that Bill's play.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Does he lose his cool? Yeah? Yeah, maybe we'll ask matter.
Let's wrap with Mark. Mark You're on? Did we talk
to Mark Ruddier? You know?

Speaker 7 (11:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Okay, Hey Mark, what's up?

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (11:41):
I was just calling about this Mahomes deal. I'm I'm
a home er, I'm from Missouri, so the crying about
this issue doesn't sit well with me.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
Let me this discussion.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
About well, he's just doing it to draw penalty or foul. Well,
if that's a critter in my god, let's uh. Hey,
we don't want these hard cancer anymore by quarterbacks because
why are they doing it to draw a penalty? We
don't want these quick snats when the defense has too
many men on the field. Why because they're trying to
draw penalty.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Hey, Mark, that's sort of Mark. Hey, listen, buddy boy,
that was sort of my point. So don't say everyone.
I was sort of saying what you were saying that
we always try to get a competitive advantage and this
one just it feels a little dirtier because it involves
a hit and involves a guy going full speed, Like
what do you expect him to do. That's what it is, right,
like when Aaron Rodgers was the master of the hard
count and you got people jump. What is that?

Speaker 5 (12:33):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
You tricked me, Aaron. But those rules are clear, right
like these other rules like you do, you have defenders
tiptoeing around because they don't know what to do. I
think there's a solution, and the solution is simple. Make
fifteen yard play fifteen yard penalties and penalties of this
sort reviewable because if it's a clearly bad hit, penalty stays.

(12:54):
If not, if you see the quarterback you know, up
to Shenanigans, or it wasn't as bad of a hit
as you thought, you could simply pull the flag and
say no foul, then it's fifteen yards against them. How
about that? Yes, go ahead and flash. Now you've gone
too far, Kivino, Are you.

Speaker 7 (13:10):
A fan when a boxer does this, you know, let's
tap gloves and go.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
They hate that, and they do go for a cheap
shot because protect yourself at all times. Yeah, cheap as hell.
And a prime example would be when Floyd Mayweather knocked
out Victor or Tez. That was the weakest knockout I've
ever seen. I never respected it in other words, if
you never saw the fight. The golden rule in boxing
is protect yourself at all times. And Ortiz was trying to, like,

(13:38):
you know, hug Mayweather and just tap gloves, like get
back at the fight, and in the middle of him
trying to show a little respect, Mayweather knocked them out.
That's weak, that it is. And I get it. You're
supposed protect yourself, but that's finding a cheap loophole to
your advantage. That's what I think. Mahomes, Yeah, does I
get it, but I don't respect it. Yeah? Right? Did

(14:01):
Mayweather need to do that? Especially when it's a Floyd Mayweather.
He's one of the greats, So yeah, I mean I
try to be consistent on that. Good call, Dan Byer,
And before we get to Dan's update, what's up, Dan.

Speaker 7 (14:13):
I was just gonna say, we're about to find out
the hall Yeah on this okay.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
You know, there's a lot of great names we have
the list here. I mean, they're all great players, and
the only difference is some are really great players and
some are really good players. Some are Hall of Fame worthy,
some are borderline, but they're all really good. All these
dudes are really impressive names on this list, right, Well,
but I have to say, like, it's not the Hall
of great, it's the Hall it's you know, this is yeah,

(14:39):
it's not the all of good. And I gotta say
this before it happens. If each he wrote, Suzuki's not unanimous,
my goodness, Yeah, that's another one of those moments where
some writers flexing for no reason. Yeah, like, this is
the guy who, without a doubt, should be unanimous. The

(15:00):
the way he handled himself his career in Japan and
in MLB combined as a professional, the way he and
by the way that should play maybe a little more
of a factor in the Uniteds. But I'll tell you what,
because now the Hall of Fame, doesn't it comprise of
Major League Baseball and the Negro League numbers? Right when
it comes to records, it does, So maybe you do

(15:21):
account for more of what each Ero did in Japan.
It's unbelievable what he did in Japan and in the
MLB and just how great he was in every stage
of his career, his longevity. If he's not unanimous, you know,
some dude is flexing. And if anyone should be unanimous
a La Marianna Rivera is Eachi Row can I give
you guys two names before dB lets us know the

(15:43):
scoop when it comes in. There's two names where I'm
so torn on because I'm like, I don't know, am
I inflating them or not giving them enough credit? Two people? Okay,
Carlos Beltrend and Andrew Jones. Are you saying they're border
I'm like, I don't know. I would be not shocked
if it went either way because I look at Andrew
Jones and he's so symbolic of those great Braves teams

(16:04):
and just his glove alone and what he did as
a defender in the outfield. And Beltron was a great
postseason player other than that one strikeout as a met
and he had like what four thirty four to sixty
home runs? He would be up there. Beltron defensively speed
everything as smart ball player. Carlos Peltron, as John Miller

(16:25):
would call John Miller would call Carlos Carlos Peltron in
his prime, I feel like there was a point, I mean,
in everybody's life. He would collect through the outfield like
like a gazelle. Yeah. But and then there was a
real clear point, like I said, in everybody's life, but
in a professional athlete's life. His life, especially where he
went from really great athlete to like he put on
a few extra pounds, wasn't the same. But Carlos Peltron,

(16:47):
I think I think he's a Hall of fam I
think all these guys. I think there's some guys on
that list that are really good, but they're not like
like Grandy Man, Curtis Granderson, good but not a Hall
of Famer. Bobby and Bray, You same thing. Manny Ramirez
is in. There's no quot shit, Manny Omarvis Skels in
just based on the hill Glove and his gold gloves
and his legacy as a as a miraculous infielder. Each

(17:10):
year row should be unanimous. Forget about being in. CC's
in guaranteed. You know these these are should be guarantees
to me. Yes, yes, yes, yes, Sabathia c C Captain
Crunched Sabathia. So a lot of people know his real
name is Captain Crunch. Are people are they in Cooperstadt?
Are they gonna put his extra large baggy Yankees pants? Yes,

(17:31):
it looked like he was wearing pajamas. His pajama pants
are making the Hall of Fame so I can't wait
to hear this. But yeah, not everybody's getting in, so
gets in. I'm sorry he's not. I mean, his numbers
are there, but because of the steroids, he's not in.
Did be Are we breaking news yet or should we
break and come back? What do you think? Breaking news?

(17:54):
Breaking news from Fox Sports?

Speaker 7 (17:56):
So this is in progress, guys. Okay, each Ero Suzuk
officially a Hall of Famer member of the Class of
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
As is C. C. Sabbathia.

Speaker 7 (18:07):
Oh yes, officially a member of the Class of twenty
twenty five. They are making the announcement as we speak
because of the great accomplishments. They're listing off the accomplishments
of each of the players, and so far it's been
each a row at CC Sabbathia, and we expect at
least another name or two, as they said that there
it is a multiple player class.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Now not only that, you know, I put CC Sabathia
in a different category because you have a great postseason pitcher. Two.
I remember he was like a hired gun for a
couple of years, like I remember the Brewers years, like CC.
Wherever he was he played big from in my mind,
he's just one of those old school guys again, who
I just feel like, if he was healthy, he could
have been even closer to three hundred wins. What was

(18:50):
he like two fifty something? You know, he was up
there in wins. Great career with Cleveland, Milwaukee, New York,
nineteen years in the big slicked it.

Speaker 7 (19:00):
Up and Billy Wagner is the final member of the
class of twenty ten five. So Billy Wagner gets into
the Hall of Fame final year on the ballot.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's it. That is it. The three players that are in. Wow.
So my speculation on Beltron and Andrew Jones were close,
but maybe not first ballot. We were sort of right
on the money with that. Billy Wagner. What did I
say before the announcement? I said, last year he was
within five votes, like dB confirmed And do you remember
in the off season Billy Wagner said, Yeah, who cares

(19:33):
about the Hall of Fame? If you're not going to
vote me in because I chose to retire early and
spend time with my kids, then you know, beat it that.
That must have got into the mind of some writers
and you don't think, yeah, but I'm sort of surprised
Omar Viscale didn't get in. He's like, he had two
hundred two and seventy seven hits. That's one hundred and

(19:53):
twenty three short. Give me a break. He had enough
kind of gloves to make up for that. What about
since he goal gloves he had. He also hit on
my sister when he was in the minor leagues, and
he could have been you could be a member of
the Buyer family.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
I look, I don't know if we Omar's had some
stuff in his past, but when he was a minor leaguer, yeah,
he was sure uh interested, Wow, invited.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Maybe you could have been best Palis and it could
have been like the Omar and Dan show. You could
have done right. I'm just thinking defensively. Uh wow, I'm
surprised he wasn't in there. But congratulations to the class
of twenty twenty five Baseball Hall of Fame.

Speaker 7 (20:32):
Eachi Row, Sabbathia and Billy Wager. How about this, this
is what's going to stand out. It was Josh Rawitch
of the Hall of Fame just announced each Row is
not a unanimous selection, felt garbage. One person kept him
off the ballot. Ninety nine point seven percent of the vote.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Karate kicked in the chest. That is a joke. I mean,
you don't know baseball, right, It's like to me, I'm
always fascinated, like that person should have their votes revoked
without a doubt with that, I mean that that's I'm
not saying that for a fact, like deserves like a
slap in the face. Imagine it was Rob Parker, Rod
Parker's like it was me. There's got to be integrity involved.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
I my whole issue with it, and I'm not picking
on Cavino, but for the only person to beat Mariano
Rivera in the closer position, it's not that he isn't
or shouldn't have been a first ballot or a unanimous
it's just that he's the only one that is. And
it's so crazy to me that we sit here and
we look at the closer position or reliever position and

(21:32):
now scrutinize it in today's game that he is the
only unanimous one.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, Mo Rivera. I mean, look, as the Yankees fan,
I don't of mind he's still the only one. But
I do think that Eachi Ro is worthy of that.
But well, hey, we got more Covino and Rich We're
going to get to showtime Mahomes trivia. You want in
win a swiggy the numbers eight, seven, seven, nine to nine.

lam Honestly, how does that reporter writer, whoever that vote
belongs to, how do they look at themselves in the
mirror or look at anyone with a straight face and say, oh,
I don't think you ruled the whole favor. Well, I

(23:53):
don't want to be the story. So congrats to Billy Wagner,

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Let's do this, hey, guys, let's get the rules clear
a right, Let's keep the rules consistent. There's no cheating,

No cheating, no breaking of the rules. You really need
to listen to.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
This part, yeah, because this is the rules for showtime
on Homes NFL Trivia. The first contestant with two correct
answers is the champion. If there's a tie, we have
a tie breaker question. Your name is your buzzer, but
you do have to wait until all three possible answers
are read. If there's two wrong answers in a row,
we move on to the next question. Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Let's go. Let's get it ome, all right. I'm here,
Patrick mahomes the villain, and I'll also be here someday.
How many square feet is the Pro Football Hall of
Fame in Canton, Oh? One hundred and eighteen thousand square feet?
Just one hundred and thirty two thousand square feet or
c eighty five thousand square feet?

Speaker 4 (27:20):
Patrick, No, no, Rich Rich for the steal.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I feel like it's deceptively maybe smaller than we think
eighty five see man one hundred and eighteen thousand square feet.
It was originally nineteen thousand square feet before our three expansions.
A right, one hundred and eighteen thousand. We'll see there
one day, and congrats to each you Ross my guy.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Okay, so nobody on the board yet. As we moved
around two.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
What was I once quoted saying about making mistakes? Here
we go, Hey, we all make stakes in football. The
key is to not make them in the fourth quarter.
B I just try to learn from every mistake that
I make so that I never make them again, or
see only mistake I make with the refs was treating

(28:14):
them to the melting pot instead of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
Patrick got in there. B Yes, I say, see big
melting pott. By the way, I didn't make any mistake
flopping on the sideline this weekend. Actually trip, it was

(28:36):
a trip. You looked closely. I just stumbled on my
foot and you heard it here on Fox Sports Radio.
You forget that cheese fondo with the melting Pot's pretty fantastics.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Right Pat, So Patrick and Scottsdale's on the board as
we moved around.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Three all right, round three? Patrick mahomes here, who was
the first player to return a punt for a touchdown
and his NFL debut. Was it a Deon Sanders? Be
Tim Brown or see Devin Hester? Dan Buyer got in there.
I'm gonna guess b Tim Brown. Oh you went with

(29:12):
Denny Is. A raider said, so what do you think, Patrick, Patrick?
You're going Deon Sanders? You just want wow?

Speaker 6 (29:26):
Alright, man?

Speaker 1 (29:27):
You just worn like then we're gonna wait against the Bills. Uh?

Speaker 4 (29:31):
Patrick in Arizona. Congrats, We're gonna mail out of seeing
our swiggy to you.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Thanks. I think he cheated. He didn't really. By the way,
is a stainless steel water bottle?

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Man, I can't wait? What a guy thank you, Patrick.
Hold on, it's a man thong. Be sure to send
a picture by Patrick. Good luck. All right, they stringy Patrick.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Let's hope the bills don't annahilate you when you tiptoe
on the sideline.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
We will see next Sunday. By the way, I'm putting
you on the spot, Dan byer Dan, anyone read any
weather reports for Sunday? Is Kansas City gonna be just chilly?
Or is it wet snow or anything?

Speaker 7 (30:09):
Or no, it's it's a night game. It'll be the
second game. But it's low of twenty four, high of
about thirty six that day, no.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Snow, no freezing temperature, is not horrible. Lobby fired up.
I gotta go. Oh you're still here? Yeah later, guys, alright,
don't be hating you.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Notice he's got extra security.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Lad pet by Patrick, real quick before you get back
to the little annoyed. I just saw Patrick in the hallway.
He's annoyed with all the smack talks today. But I
told him many man, we're just we're just trying to
figure it out, man, just trying to figure it out.
I wasn't security. That was the refs, you know. Can
I tell you Mike he uh Patrick Mahomes rocks with

(30:49):
this whole crew. They're wearing a foot locker outfit. Yeah
it's weird. Yeah, I don't know. Can I tell you
my uh my instinct now that he's gone and I
don't want to sol Patrick, maybe why would you want
to do that in front of him? My uh my instinct,
which could mean absolutely nothing, because you know, even the
best of gamblers, what hit fifty to sixty percent. I
feel like Buffalo may annihilate Kansas City, And I know

(31:12):
that sounds like, how can you even say that when
the Chiefs go fifteen to two and they're back to
back champions. I just feel like, I feel like you
watch the Chiefs all year beat teams by just being
smarter and by just like you said, they gained less
yards in the Texans last week. Everything about Kansas City
feels like they're just smart and find ways to win.

(31:33):
You want a lukewarm take that I'm willing to say
on FOXT radio, But what I'm saying is the same
way last night you could say, Man, Notre Dame just
had so much heart, what a great team, But Ohio
State was just so much They just have better talent.
I think right now, Buffalo is just a better team
and the only way Kansas City wins is if they
win by pure football brains. I feel like Mahomes and

(31:55):
Kelsey and the Chiefs still got that magic in them.
And what really convinced me of that was that play
where he was falling down he threw it to Kelsey
in the end zone. Kelsey just caught it down while
he was It just reminded me that, you know what,
maybe they barely won all these games this year, but
they still got that magic. There's still the Chiefs. He
could argue last year they barely did everything and they
won a Super Bowl. Deeb, let's go to you for

(32:17):
an update. But any thoughts on that Buffalo thought or no,
they're just I feel like Buffalo is so prime to me.
I don't have that sense. No, I don't have that sense.

Speaker 7 (32:26):
I think it could be a lower scoring game just
because of how good Kansas City's.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Defense has been.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
But hey, if you're right, then kudos to you, and
I'd like to see Buffalo win. So I actually do
hope that you're right. I want to quick give you
guys an exercise I voted, I printed out the voting
ballots for the Hall of Fame. Yeah, there are three players.
And by the way, it's not meant to disrespect anyone.
These are all great players who had great careers. To
be even nominated on the ballot is great. But there

(32:54):
are three players who didn't receive one vote at all
from voters.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
All right, I got two of them and.

Speaker 7 (33:00):
Ready, and so at the end of the update, I
want to see if you guys can match who didn't
what three players didn't receive any votes. There are players
that received the most votes. That was Ichiro Suzuki, almost
a unanimous pick following one vote. Shy of being the
second player unanimously selected to the Hall of Fame, he
was on ninety nine point seven percent of the ballots,

(33:20):
getting three hundred and ninety three of the three hundred
and ninety four votes needed for induction into the Hall
of Fame. He's the lead name of the class of
twenty five, but not the only name. C. C. Sabathia
gets in in his first year, while it took ten tries,
but Billy Wagner is in. He got past the seventy
five percent threshold. Carlos Beltron fell short. He received seventy

(33:42):
point three percent of the vote. He needs seventy five
percent to get in, Andrew Jones sixty six point two percent.
He is not a Hall of Famer this year. SNY
reports the Jets have begun to inform candidates they are
no longer in the running for positions with the team,
as it's believed that Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will
be the team's new head coach and commander's assistant GM

(34:02):
Lance Newmark becoming the team's new general manager. Vikings At
head coach Kevin O'Connell agreed to one multi year extension.
O'Connell's old deal expired at the end of twenty twenty five.
Patriots are hiring Josh McDaniels to be their offensive coordinator
under Mike Vrabel, and Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, according
to the NFL Network, is interviewing for the head coaching
position with the team. All right, you guys got your

(34:24):
three names.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
By the way, did Rex Ryan have anything to say
about the Jets finalizing the coaching He's got his foot
in his mouth. I like it, all right, Okay, So
I think he's got his wife's foot in his mouth.
I would have to say two definites that didn't get
any votes is a Ron and Ramirez for steroid involvement. Nope,

(34:46):
I disagree with that. Yeah, which is correct? Okay? Oh
my first I have like who I narrowed it down
to five and then I'll pick again. Let me give
you my five. Okay, tell me if like, well, we'll
play a little game. I got Carlos Gonzalez, Ian Kinsler,
Russell Martin, Fernando Rodney, and Ben Zoberst. Two of those
are correct. Wow, but you said three didn't right? Yes? Three? Yeah?

(35:09):
Ian Kinsley say yeah Kinsler? Then so you're going Kinsler.
I thought maybe people were going back on their stage
steroids kin Kinsler and ben Zoberst.

Speaker 7 (35:19):
Zobrist is one of them. Okay, Fernando Rodney is another.
Hanley Ramirez did not receive a vote. Wow, okay, yeah, surprising.
Cargo got two votes, Ian Kinsler got ten.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Well, okay, maybe I'm down playing Ian Kinsley.

Speaker 7 (35:34):
And for Cavino's point, Alex Rodriguez received one hundred and
forty six votes thirty seven point cent thirty seven point
one percent. Manny Ramirez got thirty four point three Andy
Pettitt twenty seven point nine percent of the vote.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
All right, can you give me one more? I'm sorry,
I don't know if you did it during the update,
my dude David Wright. David Wright got eight percent of
the vote, got thirty two votes. Creative injuries buried that
guy that sucks really good guy, good?

Speaker 8 (35:58):
Great?

Speaker 1 (35:59):
All right, Hey, let's we got more Covene on Rich
and speaking to baseball. What would you do if you're
an eleven year old kid and you pull a card
out of a pack that could change your family's future.

coming up on tomorrow's show. It's Wednesday already. Oh boy,
mid week major your biggest stories in the world of

(38:18):
sports and pop culture, We do it tomorrow on the show. Again.
I'm Steve Covino at Steve Covino, Rich Davis at Rich Davis.
We're all at Covino and Rich. Make sure you like
our videos and follow our podcast. We appreciate it. And again,
congratulations to Ichi, ro Cec, Sabbathia and Billy Wagner, three
players that brought us a lot of joy over the

(38:39):
last couple decades. And you know, a couple of those
guys who are close but no Cigar. We shall see
what happens next year. But yeah, so if you get
no votes, that's sort of like, oh, man, don't even
put me on the ballot then right, it's a little embarrassing,
but still an honor to be there. Of course, you know,
now there's a story in the world of baseball, less

(39:00):
about baseball, more about people that collect cards. Do you
remember the story about Paul Skiings and how there was
a baseball card, one of one that's out there somewhere. Well,
Tops created this MLB debut rookie debut patch that went

(39:25):
on all the jerseys of new players in their debut.
So it's a one on one Paul Skans card, Paul
Skans being one of the biggest names in the league.
But the Pirates, the real key to the story is
the Pirates said, whoever gets this card, we're gonna know
the actual Pittsburgh Pirates. They're like, we're gonna roll out
the Pirate red carpet for you. If you get this card,

(39:48):
you get season tickets. We're gonna season tickets for thirty years.
Thirty years. Man, But Aldo, let's let's take it back
because they want for their own little you know, uh
staydium displayed.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
Also, they'll give you a softball game exclusive for thirty
at PNC Park, plus coaching from the Pirates alumni.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
And I get why they want it. Paul Skeene's big player.
You're you're trying to create a legacy here. It's fun
for the fans to see you your own little piece
of the history that in your mind you think is
really yours? Right, Well, but guess what some eleven year
old nosepicker got it. Tops reported Tuesday morning this morning

(40:29):
that an eleven year old from Los Angeles. By the way,
that's that's the key to the story. I think pulled
a one of one. Let's remind ourselves, one of one.
That's not like, oh, there's so many rookies. This is
a one of one Skeiens rookie card. Now, auction houses
have been desperately trying to figure out is this kid

(40:50):
gonna want to sell it? So like, just to make
it clear, though, the card has the actual patch that
they wear on the card, and it's autographed, so these
are highly coveted cards. Now put that with this Paul
Skene's name, it's worth even more just the value that
the pirates have created around it. And then even his
girlfriends like you could come stay with me at a

(41:10):
game and you gowk like a creeper. He's an eleven
year old boy. There's so many questions I have, but
I think the one question we'll try to sneak it.
We have a minute. If you're this kid's parents, is
it really your card? Or you gonna be like Hey kid,
you pulled it, uh, put away some for college. But
if you want to buy, you know, a POS five
and buy a new bike, Like, is this kid gonna

(41:32):
reap the benefits or is this like a family price
give me a break. That's like if your grandma buys
you some scratch offs and you win, what, you gotta
split it with grandma. No, she bought it with the
intent if you win the money, you get it. There's
a difference of grass five dollars scratcher versus this kid
has a this could be a million dollars. Good. If
you're a good parent, you say, hey man, that's your
money and you put it away for your kid and
invest it. I think the interesting part is what are

(41:54):
they gonna do because this kid wants no part of
the pirates. He's a Dodgers fan, so you know, maybe
we'll break this down more tomorrow. Covin on Rich We'll
see then. Until then, A rivadavici baby, see you in
the promising came bye.
